Usually u have to set up a little script + htmlpage on your server to run google maps,
but i was wondering – is it possible to use google maps directly?
i mean by just calling an url with parameters (gpoint coordinates, zoomfactor ..) and it loads the map fullscreen without having to use my own server?
Sounds like you might be after the static maps api. You can build a URL specifying the properties of the map like:
and you will get back a rendered image of the map. Something like:
(source: google.com)
Obviously this just gives you a fixed image of the map you are after. If you need a dynamic Google map, then you will need to use the Google Maps Javascript API.
